LLM's have a promising future to replace low-level call center workers, professional translators (a huge industry, I know), and minimum wage corporate photoshop monkeys. These are legitimate uses that will benefit the world, but it's not a gold rush even though all the suits are acting like it. With any luck, the Mark Cubans of this cycle will hodl all the way into bankruptcy.

I think we're seeing some degenerate, collapsing-empire shit here. The sclerotic, hyper-regulated, hyper-inflating, socialist-all-but-in-name economy has been dead for a while and the only big gains to be made are on asset bubbles and scams, so everybody is looking for "the next big scam thing," be that AI, electric cars, cryptocoins, regulation-dodging taxi services, or orbital burrito delivery systems. Nobody is looking to run an honest, modest, and consistently profitable business.
